You asked for it, Delco.
You got it.
It's time to get 'Crackin.'
Yep, Cracker Barrel arrives today.
Sort of.
Actually they are holding a soft opening of the iconic eatery this morning. The first Cracker Barrel in Delaware County will host dignitaries and celebrities for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning at the new restaurant and country store on Stewart Avenue in Ridley across from the Boeing plant.

She thinks I kind of wait for the spills. She might be right.

It gives me a chance to check in with an old friend.
Well, sort of.
I love Johnny Weir.
But not for the reason you might think.
Johnny teams with Tara Lipinski to form one of the best breaths of fresh air to come along in sports announcing in a long time. Both are former champion skaters. Both do not hold back when it comes to being critical of poor performance. And neither is …
